Immediate Headway on <
Dvina, <
The loss of 26 lives is the probable \
result of the attack on the Allan liner
Hesperian which officers, crew and <
passengers say was tne 'victim 01 a ]
torpedo. The body of one woman, who 1
died of shock, is at Queenstown. The j
others are missing. ]
The Hesperian lies at the bottom 1
of the ocean only a few miles from 1
the spot where she was stricken. i

is in abeyance pending com
plete information; the British admiral- 1

the Hesperian's captain, and Berlin is
silent, not having any reports from 1

Thomasville, Ga., Sept. 4.?The first

State Entomologist E. Lee Wor;ham

said. Very few traces of the

Preserving the Finish of Your Car.
It is the natural desire of the owner
>f an automobile that the lustre and
inish of the new car shall be preserved
as long as possible. lAn automobile
hat is clean and whose finish is glossy
laturally creates a pride of ownership,
vhile the car whose finish has been
lulled is immediately classed as an old
nachine.
Many owners think that it is impossible
to keep the newness from wearng
off. To an extent this is true, as
10 varnish can withstand the natural
vear necessarily given it for an indefi
lite length of time. It can, however,
>e preserved for many months if the
>wner will see tjiat the car is properly
vashed.
It is surprising to note how few cars
ire washed as they should be. A hose
vith a strong stream of water is genially
used, together with unsuitable
;oap or washing powder.
?very particle of dust and dirt offers
. cutting surface to the highly polished
x>dy of a car when pressed against the
mished surface by force of the hand
>r a stream, of water under pressure,
^or this reason it is advisable to renove
all dirt with as little force as
)ossible. Allow the water, at a temjerature
of sixty degrees or less, to
un from a hose in a slow stream,
rhis will gradually remove practically
ill the dirt, and, if properly done, the
ise of soap will seldom be necessary,
n the event soap is required, only pure
astile should be used.
No varnished surface will stand beng
scrubbed with a brush or with a
loth of coarse material.
Dry with a clean chamois.
Do not allow people to put their
lands on the polished surface of your
lutomobile.
Procure a soft, lined cover and keep
t over your car when it is not in use.
rhis will protect it from air and smoke.

ipeaks Before Conference for Common
Good and Charities and Corrections
Meeting.
he State, 8th.
Speaking last night at the opening
ession of the joint meeting of the
Conference for the Common Good and
he South Carolina Conference of
Charities and Corrections, Governor j
Ianning discussed from the standpoint!
>f the farmer the problem of market- j
ng the cotton crop of 1915. Viewed j
s a whole, he said, he thought that ]
he situation in which cotton planters j
ound themselves this year was dis-!
inctly encouraging. The cost of pro- j
;ir?tinn of rotfon hari bep-n cut. ereat >
uantities of foodstuffs had been
aised at home and the people had
conomized. Governor Manning said
hat in view of these facts, if the
irmers had only this season's crop of
otton to market, they would have
othing to worry about. However, the
ict that a large part of last year's
rop was still unsold complicated the
ituation decidedly. The governor said
lat he believed that proper system of
arehousing the cotton raised this
sason, co-operation between the merhiants,
bankers and farmers and the
ideral reserve banking system would
ave the day provided farmers sold
ieir cotton with the greatest care.
The Warehouse System.

ing. "However, I intend to recomlend
to the next general assembly cerlin
changes in our present 'State
y-etem which I believe will safeguard
ur warehouse receipts. The changes
i the system which I intend to recmmend
are: First, that managers of
ie warehouses in the State system be
isinterested parties, neither ovfeers of
tie warehouses nor of cotton stored in
hem: second, that cotton in ware
, __ _
ouses in the State system be graded I
y an official grader; third, that the
tate warehouse commission have inpectors
and weighers to visit the
warehouses in the State system and
heck up the number of bales in them,
tie weight of the bales and the grades
f cotton to see if these are as repreented
in the State warehouse receipts.
"If the receipt for cotton warehoused
nder the State system represents the
alue given on its face, I believe that
: will be eagerly sought and readily J
ccepted as security for loans," delorod

rop was to be sold slowly, that none

For the farmer of the South, we
old that there are few greater re-1
ponsibilities than that of caring for {
be land; not only caring for it, but
mking it better and better as the
ears go by. Indeed, so great is this
esponsibility that we affirm that the

It is given to but few men to be

in doing well our share of the

where a heavy rainfall and wild win- 1
ters are factors in depleting soil fertility,
soil building has not been easy;
on the other hand, it has been both difficult
and expensive. But the coming j
of the winter-growing clovers ana
vetches, with the absolute certainty
that they will thrive practically everywhere
in the South, has brought soil- v
building possibilities hardly dreamed u
of twenty years ago. No longer is it c
necessary to 'buy nitrogen, the most f
expensive of all plants foods; no longer ?.
need we be without humus, the magic key
that unlocks nature's great plant
food storehouses.
What boundless possibilities there
are in these great crops! What splendid
hopes and visions of better soils,
better crops, better people and better
living! Through them the Southern
farmer, as no other farmer in all {
America, has a truly wonderful opportunity.
Would you double your corn
and cotton yields? Would you cut ivour
fertilizer bills in half? Would you
ward off drouth and flood, and insure t
your crops? WTould you build better L
homes.srood roads, good schools? Would e
you have a part in making your com- o
munity and the South greater and bet- I
ter? Would you leave, as a monument i:
to your life's work, a bit of God's s
earth better than you found it? I
Would you do all these, then grow s
clovers.
